In explaining why President Obama didn't call the Boston bombings a "terrorist attack," former adviser David Axelrod said, "I'm sure what was going through the president's mind is -- we really don't know who did this -- it was tax day":

"The word has taken on a different meaning since 9/11," Axelrod said of the phrase "terrorist attack."

"You use those words and it means something very specific in people's mind. And I'm sure what was going through the president's mind is -- we really don't know who did this -- it was tax day. Was it someone who was pro--you know, you just don't know. And so I think his attitude is, let's not put any inference into this, let's just make clear that we're going to get the people responsible."

For crying out loud if he doesn't want to say it was a terrorist attack because he didn't know who did this and everyone thinks muzzie when you say terrorist attack then don't say "tax day" and imply it wasn't some muzzie that did it and it was a white dude instead, who everyone in the ObamaNewsPAC wants to blame and is hoping it is anyway. /end run-on sentence.
